VS has been a plague since last august, Its the biggest flaw/off-put of tier1 and the reason so many guilds/players have left Tier1 for greener pastures. VS can say what they want about Anet and the way WvW is, I’m not going to say they are wrong, this aint about right or wrong. This is about one server pretty much ruining wvw for everyone else regardless if they are right/have the right to do it.

Id feel a little bit ashamed if I was a VS citizen right now to be honest. Its a shame Anet cant create a new tier just for VS, split it up into 3 thirds and they can fight each other in blobs. And let the rest of the servers have a somewhat fair fight most weeks. Its the way of life in alot of things, one person always has to spoil the fun, kitten shame.

Viz dominating is not Troma’s fault its down to basic math Viz has 3 times the number of people on its server than either sfr or Des. Even if sfr & Des had a alliance, Viz would still outnumber them…

Do you have an actual proof for that, or are you just guessing ? (i’m curious, no sarcasm intended)

Why are they a plaque, because they adapted into what is the most efficient mono-guild around? They play to win the game and they are winning it, there is no denying that. What they do to achieve this goal maybe frowned upon but it’s perfectly legal.

If the best guilds had the patience and didn’t want to go it alone they could wipe the floor with VS. But they get bored, wiping puggies over and over is boring apparently.

As for me, i don’t care who i’m fighting or what i’m fighting, there’s a sense of accomplishment when winning against the odds. People on here should spend more time out in the game fighting than kittening and trolling on the forums. Maybe then, you will accomplish something ^^

So you may want to post this in the relevant thread however if you had watched us then you would have noticed that RIOT came from the south east tower, we came from the south east supply camp, RIOT ran north to cap the northern supply camp but garrison was under attack so went there, we stayed at north hills and got the gate down with just VoTF, we went to the north inner at hills and once again took the gate down vs heavily sieged opposition and we got into the lords room and wiped almost everything before riot returned in order to get wXP.

I appreciate that you are trying to show some form of tom-foolery going on here but suffice to say you are reaching quite a bit.

One channel and all the guild tags are different.. Given that I have seen more than just one person from each guild on a map, it is either a ’commanders’ list for easy communication, or there are just others from Vizunah playing and not on TS.

Either way it proves nothing, and we all know you have more than 16 people online in WvW at the moment.

We will never drop because the other servers can play the same “let’s not score too many points” game too and they are doing it. Time to either man up and accept that playing with the big boys implies sacrifices like queues (which are non existent on Deso at the moment anyway), big zergs, skill lag, and getting wiped off the map by a force 5X to 10X yours, or do what nearly everybody else is doing, give the finger to any hope of ever building a serious, stable server-wide WvW community, pretend that WvW actually stands for “GvG” and start the perpetual server hopping in the eternal search for the mythical land of milk and honey.

Do they, now.

Vizunah DOES play the game the way it’s meant to be played. If the game was supposed to be a 20 vs 20 deathmatch in an open field, you wouldn’t have the following game concepts:

- supply
- towers and keeps
- siege weapons

Those concepts are there though, and they are meant to be used.

Just as an example, Vizunah is the only server I’ve seen which has dolyak escorts over 80% of the time.
Escorting dolyaks is slow, boring and unrewarding, but it’s also utterly critical as without those dolyaks you cannot refill your towers/keeps (much less upgrade them) and without those stockpiles there’s no way of doing things like golem rushes or trebbing enemy strong points.

What Vizunah does is to use its devastating numerical superiority in off peak time to gain loads of points and properly setup the maps in the best possible situation and then use that advantage to carry them through during peak time when the opposition finally matches their numbers. I don’t see how any other server in their lucky position would play differently.

The servers fighting Vizunah have a tendency to go looking for open field fights while ignoring (or at least not caring enough) for the logistical part of the game mode. I know that’s definitely the case for Deso; just as an example, last thursday I could play in the morning due to a day of holidays, stood 5h 30 minutes in EB, and was personally responsible for 90% of the tower upgrades and 80% of the siege weapons deployed during the whole period, despite carrying the commander tag for only 20 minutes.

A proper task distribution by commanders would render Vizunah’s task much more difficult because their zergs, being so pug-heavy, tend to melt whenever faced by 1/2 or more of their own numbers, and that forces them to oversiege positions to have any chance of capping points. But you cannot oversiege if you don’t have supplies. Cutting their supply lines would force them to come out in the open much more often.

So accusing them of hiding in their towers with a zillion siege weapons is only half the truth; the other half is “so why aren’t your forces killing all their dolyaks while escorting yours, then trebbing the crap out of their towers?” At least during prime time, the other servers DO have enough players to employ this tactic, especially given Vizunah’s so often cited need to respond to a 20-man squad with a 60-man zerg. Accusing them of sucking in open field fights and then complaining about the inability of taking their positions is a self-confessed lack of understanding on how to properly employ your forces.

I’m not saying proper tactical play would change the result of the matches; they simply get way too many points in the night/morning/afternoon for anyone to be able to overcome that deficit without a massive boost in coverage; but this is the result of the awful scoring system and you cannot fault players for a game design mistake.

Maybe just make that every server have same amount players in every map. If we have one player enemies should have one player too. That would be fair.

That would make queues impossibly long on the server with the highest off peak population; it would also promote silly tactics like “let have no one log in map X so the enemy cannot log in that map too”.

No, there have already been plenty of excellent suggestions on how to fix it, mostly revolving about a scaling scoring system which gives less points the higher your numerical advantage is, with a fixed minimum cap to avoid the above mentioned “tactic”.

Problem is, Arenanet’s WvW devs are treating their WvW design choices (“WvW is 24/7!”) like religious dogmas instead of approaching the problem in a pragmatic way. I’ve seen the same phenomenon in many other MMOs, once a design team adopts a “pet design tenet” you’d have more chances getting the pope to renounce catholicism than getting that team to reconsider their pet tenet.

Vizunah DOES play the game the way it’s meant to be played.

Whilst you can argue that yes they do, there is a serious design flaw in the WvW scoring system and there’s no reason why us the players should succumb to this. In fact, most WvW guilds do not and recent activities prove this.

What Vizunah does is to use its devastating numerical superiority in off peak time to gain loads of points and properly setup the maps in the best possible situation and then use that advantage to carry them through during peak time when the opposition finally matches their numbers.

Rolling in a 60 man blob during unsociable hours whilst the rest of the EU are fast asleep or at school and work sure sounds like fun. Must be such a challenge having to fight off the opposition. Odd though that they are not the same force during prime time to demonstrate their superiority.

The servers fighting Vizunah have a tendency to go looking for open field fights while ignoring (or at least not caring enough) for the logistical part of the game mode.

That’s because it is fun. What do people get from winning the match-up? What exactly do they achieve and receive for staying up all night or setting their alarm stupidly early in the morning to capture points with very little to no opposition? Except for potentially ruining their own life, they get nothing. They get no challenge, cannot for the life of me see how they would get any enjoyment from it and perhaps the most interesting part is that they get very little respect for it.

Accusing them of sucking in open field fights and then complaining about the inability of taking their positions is a self-confessed lack of understanding on how to properly employ your forces.

No it’s not and point ticks during prime time would go as far to proving this. Capturing points during the time when there is the highest level of opposition whilst also looking for fights sounds like a good enough understanding to me.

I’m not saying proper tactical play would change the result of the matches; they simply get way too many points in the night/morning/afternoon for anyone to be able to overcome that deficit without a massive boost in coverage; but this is the result of the awful scoring system and you cannot fault players for a game design mistake.

You can fault the players. Things can be done to work around the flawed scoring system, most of Vizunah simply choose not to. Just look at the score already. An entire week’s match-up is effectively over in less than 24 hours. What’s for the rest of the week? It’s tiresome and people are bored of it, but so long as Vizunah are proud I guess it’s okay and things will continue in the same fashion.

I know that’s definitely the case for Deso; just as an example, last thursday I could play in the morning due to a day of holidays, stood 5h 30 minutes in EB, and was personally responsible for 90% of the tower upgrades and 80% of the siege weapons deployed during the whole period, despite carrying the commander tag for only 20 minutes.

A proper task distribution by commanders would render Vizunah’s task much more difficult because their zergs, being so pug-heavy, tend to melt whenever faced by 1/2 or more of their own numbers, and that forces them to oversiege positions to have any chance of capping points. But you cannot oversiege if you don’t have supplies. Cutting their supply lines would force them to come out in the open much more often.

So accusing them of hiding in their towers with a zillion siege weapons is only half the truth; the other half is “so why aren’t your forces killing all their dolyaks while escorting yours, then trebbing the crap out of their towers?” At least during prime time, the other servers DO have enough players to employ this tactic, especially given Vizunah’s so often cited need to respond to a 20-man squad with a 60-man zerg. Accusing them of sucking in open field fights and then complaining about the inability of taking their positions is a self-confessed lack of understanding on how to properly employ your forces.

I’m not saying proper tactical play would change the result of the matches; they simply get way too many points in the night/morning/afternoon for anyone to be able to overcome that deficit without a massive boost in coverage; but this is the result of the awful scoring system and you cannot fault players for a game design mistake.

I liked this post, I think it has points that I agree on and it explains the whole reason why W3-design is flawed. I don’t want to say how I think the game is supposed to be played, but at any case, I believe that whichever goals a game may have otherwise, it should encourage fighting (for example, the epic fights W3 was advertised with). The scoring system doesn’t encourage fighting between servers. It encourages to hold keeps/towers and with Vizunah’s superior coverage, they can quite easily upgrade things when no one else is playing.

Effectively, if one is proud of winning the weekly points, then atleast in the case of Vizunah, it’s the proud of avoiding combat. Vizunah doesn’t need to engage in direct combat, since they can log on whenever there’s no opposition and get everything back with their better coverage. W3 scoring should encourage to more direct combat, or atleast it shouldn’t encourage to not having to do direct combat.

So ive heard a rumor that Anet is making the game regionbound.

So that we will lose all the canadians that are on VS.

Dont know if this is true….

On the subject of the scoring system sucking to high heaven, you won’t face any opposition from me.

I take some exception to Vizunah not fighting. There is this weird concept that parking your zerg on some hill and trebbing the enemy is “not fighting”. It IS fighting, as a bare minimum you need to be able to defend your position or the artillery gets overrun. And no one forbids the opposing team to go strike somewhere else.

Vizunah fights, they just stack things in their own favor as much as possible. Wouldn’t you do the same if you were in their place?

The fact that the off peak superiority not only gives ridiculous amounts of points but also massively carries over in the form of fully stocked T3 structures is another huge design flaw, on this I agree too. It’s the snowball effect.

But once again, the bucks stop at Arenanet because there have already been plenty of suggestions on how to fix this. Simplest thing would be to modify the outmanned buff to give affected players combat advantages to avoid making it so easy to completely cap maps due to numerical superiority in the first place. A more advanced approach would be to have the system “fight” to reset itself to an equilibrium state by e.g. creating dynamic events in which superbuffed NPCs attack towers/keeps held by a “foreign server” (i.e. one different from the “natural owner” of the structure, like if an enemy server controls one of the 4 towers in EB which are “yours”) with the strength of the event increasing depending on how much the enemy controls / how long they have been controlling it. They even have the technology already in place for it, this is essentially identical to what happens with temple events in Orr. This would severely mitigate the snowballing since after a certain point it would become impossible to hold on to the whole map and the players of the weaker servers would find themselves with a much better starting position once they begin filling their maps again in prime time.

But if Arenanet doesn’t even bother to mention they’re considering changes to this effect… how is this Vizunah’s fault?

Lots of you are talking about fighting. But fighting is not the main purpose of WvW. This is not a Team Deathmatch mode or something similar. Your goal is to take towers etc, if you can do it without fighting, then what’s the problem?

Oh and one last thing about “it’s all Vizunah’s fault”.

You do realize Arenanet is laughing all the way to the bank thanks also to the money you keep spending to transfer from one server to the next, don’t you? From their perspective, the current system is perfect because it keeps people throwing money at them.

If you want to effect change, vote with your wallet. Preferably after having engaged the brain.

Most of french bandwagoners are on Vizunah. It could even be possible that vizunah has more than half of french population on itself.
If 10% of your total server population play during offpeak, the same 10% of Vizunah isn’t the same, that’s why there are so many of them at any hours of the day and night.

The longer are your queue, better are your chance to be a winner, even if you can’t take part of the battle. That s the way of thinking that lead some French guilds and players to keep joining Vizunah and the queue.
